The Commodore

I had the best meal of the trip and one of the best in my life. We ate at The Commodore in Key West

The decor, waiter and food were all amazing.

We had lump maryland blue crab meet on artichoke hearts, paramesean baked asparagus, beef carpachio with capers, a spinich salad and then for the main course 4 of the largest shrimp I ever saw with beef tips in marsala sauce and zuchinni and baked potatoes.

(e:terry) drank beer and I drank a glass of malbec. The total bill came to $95 and this was full on fine dining with crumb sweep service.

Bone Marrow

This bone marrow dish from the 2 cent in Key West, Florida was amazing. The last time I had it was at Quality Meats in NYC when visiting (e:hodown). This one was even easier to eat because it was cut in half thr long way. Do they ever do this wirh sheep or lamb bones?

White Haired Old Me

Using the negative filter on the computer I look like papa smurf. I think my hair will look ok white. Hope it goes white instead of grey.

No but for real i'm going all white fast.

Owner's Suite

Last night there was a sign in our door saying we were moving rooms in the morning. To our total surprise they upgraded us to the owner suite which is amazing.

Should make a great end of the trip weekend. We are both hopefully done being sick now and off to go reef snorkling.

Cemetary In The Rain

It was so rainy on wednesday but the hotel lent out large umbrellas to wander around with so we hit up the cemetery. it is definitely the most chaotic cemetery I have ever seen. The plots seem so random as is the architecture of the graves. I suppose a bunch of hurricanes probably played a role in that. The craziest remuddle was a historic looking mausoleum with a 1990-2000 looking door.

Beach on a Cloudy Day

Coconut

With (e:terry) sick in bed, I am forced to sip Pina Collada and eat coconut encrusted shrimp by the pool.

Moving with Bikes

We took the Blu Q

cruise out to a remote sandbar.

Swimming we found sea urchins, sand dollars and crabs. Not as much stuff as you see in reefs but still pretty awesome swimming.

Everyone on the cruise was nude so I didn't get any pics.

When we got back, we had to move across the island using our bikes to get to our new hotel. Carrying luggage on a bike is pretty complicated but I somehow managed to get a photo too.

Unfortunately, (e:terry) has a cold now. Hope he gets better soon.

Mexican we can agree on

Hard to believe but (e:terry) and I found some mexican we can agree on. The restaurant is called Amigos Tortilla Bar

Their tacos are made with homemade corn tortillas. I love corn tortillas so much. They also carry gluten free beers.

The Carna Asada quesadilla that (e:terry) had was so covered in delicious cheese crispies on the outside.

I had a lobster taco, a fish taco and a shrimp taco. They were priced so good. a lobster taco was only $5.99 with the other two being only $3.99.

Its in the heart of the entertainment district on Duval st and you can sit and watch people going bar on the outside facing bars.

So far, we have eaten here 3 times despite the hundreds of amazing restaurants in Key West.

For straight guys, I am sure the superhot and friendly blond waitresses would add to the reasons to go as well.
